The Trade or Marriage.

The usual retort, when women COM
plain of want of remuneratiye employ
ment, is that they should not work, but
find men to support them. AS there
are 500, 600 more women than men Ill
England, it is obviously impossible that
every woman should have a husband.
This state of things is as bad in Ger
many also. The preponderance of the
women over the men is the greatest in
the professional and upper middle
classes. Among the richer aristocracy
of England, and the absolutely working
people. the sexes are still equal in num-
Der, and women can still marry. But
the sons of clergymen, officers, civil
servants, lawyers, doctors, and some oil
the country gentry find the struggle tor
existence too great in this Kingdom;
they emigrate, or leave the country by
Joining the military or naval service.
/ heir sisters all remain at home, unable
to find husbands, and uneducated for
work, even domestic work. These
sss,Iperfluous women" most undoubt-
edly, rs body, perform the first duty
of tlieir sex-that of being charmingly,
they arr often handsome, are generally
weil-mannered, and well-dressed. They
are "charmers, but there is no one to
charm. They know very well that
their chances of marriage are almost
nil; therefore, should a solitary suitor
with even a modest competency appear,
thew feel driven to accept the first man
who asks them, whether they care Tor
him or not. and most generally they do
not. Their parents wish to get rid OF
them, so they marry without love: AN
evil arises out of this, more ghastly
than can be described. The marriage
of copuenance is a recognized social IN
stitution abroad. In England, In this
nineteenth century, the woman OF the
upper middle classes adopt it without
acknowledging it. However We may
affect to deny it, there is vast amount
of married unhappipess in all classes.
The fault is sometimes ascribed to the
present degeneracy of women and some
times to the deterioration of men. The
fault really lies in our social system,
which gives woman neither work nor
money and obliges her to sell herself,
before she has lost her only salable COM
modities- and beauty. AS theiI
exists four "superfluous women" to one
man. the female has no choice, while
the lordly male has the greater num-
Der from whom to pick and choice.
Therefore, in this country, many women
have not only no chance or marrying al
all, but no freedom of selection what

Tunneling the Thames.

Probably few even of those LOndonerS
who daily pass across the London bridge
are aware that few yards further west
and deep down i'll the bed Of the river
q tunnel is approaching completion, if
it has not by this time already reached
the Surrey side of the river This is
one of the tunnels which the city of
London and Southwark Subway Com
pany are empowered to drive under the
Thames, and extend as far as the Ele-
plant and Castle, for the purpose Of
conveying passengers FROM that city to
that centre of the industrial population.
The total distance from the shaft on
the MiddleseX side to the Hibernia
wharf, wall is nearly six hundred and
seventy feet, and that has b9en ac-
complished in something like fifteen
weeks, The work has been done on a
very different plan to that adopted by
by Sir |. Brunei in his famous but un-
fortunate Thames Tunnel, for the new
tunnel more closely resembles the
Tower Subway, which was the first
executed example of a system of boring
under rivers, which, in slightly diff
ferent shape, was suggested some time
before Brunei obtained power to carry
out his design. The new tunnel or SUBJ
way is not adapted for ordinary
yehicular traffic; but the ease with
which it has been driven lends support
to the schemes of those who hOl1 that,
gwen the will, there will be no real
difficulty in making one or more road
WAYS beneath the Thames to connect
the busy and populous districts lying
east of the Tower, In these days of
cheap iron and appliances which were
unknown at the beginning of the cen
tury, tunneling under rivers is COM
paratively easy to what it was in
Brunel's days, and there are many enc
gineers who would confidently UNDER
take the work and bring it TO n salts
factory conclusion, probably for con-
siderablv smaller sum than the new
Tower Bridge viii cost, and with less
than tithe of the CONFIRMING expenses
which that construction viii involve.
The City and Southwark Company are
so satisfied with the outlook of their
scheme that they have deposited bill
in Parliament asking for powers to eX-
tend their lines from the Elephant and
Cistle to the Swan at Stockwell, and
if they obtain them, we may expect be-
fore the close of the century rapid
development of the new system Of IN
derground railways on which ,he smoky

Chinese Dishes.

There are some dishes that to Ameri-
cans and Europeans, seem disgusting,
others that are merely odd. Walking
through the Chinese market in San
Francisco, one sees some very queer ar
ticles of food for sale; small pats of soft
cheese, vanished amber brown and
stamped with Chinese characters; well
peeled chestnuts, with tiny slices OF
white cocoanut wrapped in neat little
cornucopias of glossy cabbage leaf; forty
kinds of dried nuts, fruits, twhole or
sliced) roots and barks.
Then there are living turtles and
frogs; fowls and fish, alive, freshly
dressed, and smoked OF dried; meats,
half cooked in the carcass; weaths of
dried oysters strung on bamboo splints;
abalones, like black models for dolls
hats; shreds of white cuttle-fish, and a
host of other edible curiosities.
A stranger might suppose that they
were simply curiosities, like the ancient
sticks of barber-pole candy exhibited in
the dingy window of a country grocery;
orlike the ham, elaborately decorated
with geometrical puzzles in Jelly, to be
admired. but on no account to be
carved, Notat all. They are regarded
as eatable, and they are eaten.
In fact, the Chinese and Japanese
eats everything that comes out of the
sea. All the fishes are good to their
taste, and are caught with great skill.
Seaweeds of several sorts are sent far
into the interior, to be used in thicken-
ing soups, gravies and pudding, and are
highly priced because they giyea relish
ing favor of salt, which il luxury
beyond the reach of most Chinese
peasants,

The opal as n Popular Gem.

The opal, which. ever since TIE days
when Sir Walter Scott wrote his 70
mantlo story in which this stone figures
so extensively, and which, in these later
days, is supposed to bring Ill luck to the
wearer, is growing to be one of the
most highly favored and most costly OF
the precious jewels. The ban under
which it has rested for so long a time
has been removed, and where a few
years ago they could be bought for
comparatively low prices. are now
bringing fabulous sums. j we'll
known jeweler showed me necklace OF
opals, which, he said, was cheap for
$4,000 This necklace is now the
property Of the wife of brooklyn mil
lionaIre. The central opal in the pen
dant is alone worth $4,000. 1 might
hardly be believed when say its mag
ailcent color and luster dimmed the
magnificent diamonds that were set
with it. l saw at this same place an
opal that was to be set in an engage
ment ring, which was valued at 81 500.

Fhe Suwanee River Song.

An Augusta paper, in the course of
an article ON the Suwanes river-''the
Penobscot of Florida"-says: ''This
dark river has, too, its romance, as be-
ing the place which gave rise to a
melody which, like Home Sweet Home,
the affection of the heart will never let
90. For it was here that a French
family, in the time Of Louis XIV,
came over and settled upon the Suwanee
and made . plantation. After while
the father and mother and all died save
one daughter, who, disheartened and
desolate, returned to France, and there
wrote, adopting in part that negro
dialect which she had been familiar
with on the plantation in her girllfood,
feeling tribute to 'the old folks at
hone' in their graves in the far-off
country"

= Fair Florentine.

She hath eyes that shame the night,
Deep and mystic, dark with doom,
Rich In thought, alive with light
When the passion flowers bloom.
And her lips are scarlet red,
Mute, and motionless. and calm,
Till score of kisses shed
Loves elixir on their balm
Soft and downy is her breast,
Tranquil as virgin rose,
Now to rock in wild unrest,
Like an ocean in its throes-
Bella, Bella,
Graziclla,
Queen where Amos river flows.
She hath locks of darkest dark,
Brow of snow and face of fire;
Tuneless is the singing lark
When she strikes her silver Tyre;
Amos speech is not as sweet
AS the music of her voice
When she runs to meet and greet
The Luigi of her choice.
Myrrh and oleander dells
Bloom with beauties rare 10 see;
Yet within their shadows dwells
Not a fairer nymph than shei
Bella, Bella;
Graziella,
Heart and heaven throb for thee.
Florence hath more stately DANES,
CARRIED in silk and decked with lace,
But they lack the living flames
Sweeping Ger her cherub face,
Plsin-robed lasses often are
Each a more bewitching prize,
Than the blue-yeined proudest star
Cleaning from palaual skies.
Viva Baccol Tap the cask
We will drink this health of thine
With bumper from n flask
OF the ruddy Tuscan wine,

San Juan Times: A crowd Of perhaps .
dozen fellows concluded last Sunday that
they would have some fun by painting the
usually quiet town Of Pike City, Sierra

act that the scondrels committed. On

Peace at Pike City, and Counstable Wood

Language of Noses.

The Roman nose denotes o propensity
for adventure.
A wide nose with open nostrils, is a
mark Of great sensuality.
A cleft nose shows benevolence-it was
the nose of St. Vincent de Paul.
A straight nose denotes a just, serious,
fine, j%udicious and energetic mind.
Nazography is the science Of divining
the character, habits and i%nclinations OF
people by a simple inspection of their
noses.
The curved, feshy nose is a mark Of
domination and cruelty. Catherine dc
Medici and Elizabeth Of England, had
noses Of this kind.
The curved, thin nose, Ia q mark of 0
brilliant mind. but vain and disposed to
be ironical. 1t is the nose of q dreamer, q
poet or . critic.
It ia desirable that the nose should be
as long as possible, this being q sign OF
merit, power and genius. For instance
Napoleon and Cesar had large noses.

A French journal warns the drinkers of
mineral water that the limestone held in
deposit in the carbonsted beverage finds
it's way to the kidneys and eventually
produces Bright's disease. The writer
also protests against ice water as q pro-
v~ocative of catarrh in the stomach. He
says: water should be drank cool. but
not iced, with the juice Of q quarter or
half a lemon in il. Water should always
be swallowed slowly. 1t is not the
stomach which is dry, but the mouth and
throat. II you toss off a drink Of water
you throw II through your mouth into
your stomach without doing the former
any good, while you injure the latter by
loading 1t with what II does not require. "
There are grains Of truth and sense in this
advice, but the proverbisl grain OF sal:
needs to be added several times.
